Windows Forum / Windows Me / General Topics / February 2005Device Manager.....Yellow Mark
On checking the above, under System Devices, I have two entries for "Programmable Interrupt Controller".....the first one is working properly.....the second one has a yellow circle with an exclamation mark and it is not working properly. I wrote down all the information on the good one and the bad one has the same info under the tab 'Resources'. On the General Tab, it says "This device is causing a resource conflict (Code 15).....to resolve it , click Hardware Troubleshooter, etc"....which of course, won't work. So obviously the first one is the OK one and I just wanted to make sure that removing the bad one is the right thing to do. Couldn't find anything in Help on this. Thanks......Heather Hi, Figgs!!!! Reboot to Safe Mode Open Device Manager Remove ALL instances of duplicated devices Remove ALL entries in the 'Other Devices' branch Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall the required drivers - hopefully curing your problem.

It wouldn't work and I uninstalled it.....not easily, by any means. So I do have quite a number of unfamiliar folders, files and now probably devices on this here computer. 8-(( It is working fine.....no problems so far. But am being very careful and studying these things. It has not been a good week, to say the least!! Weighing my options at this point. And there are more than one.

Constantly crashed *when* I could get into it......which was about 1 out of 5 tries. Had a hell of a time installing it, but had gotten so far with the first one that it had taken over......yet not fully installed. Spent 24 hours trying to get it to stop crashing and finally gave up and uninstalled it (took 4 tries due to crashing)......so I have one hell of a mess on here, yet WinME is working OK so far. Just have all these folders and files that belong to XP and will try removing some eventually. I really don't want to format this....so playing it by ear.

I am slowly picking my way thru the minefield and removing unnecessary folders and with some help, fixing drivers, etc. Got that Device Manager Code 15 one cleared up, thanks to Noel's instructions. Poor ole computer....turned 4 yrs. old last week......didn't like XP. So if I ever do put it on again, it will be on another hard drive so I can dual boot. Which was my original plan.
